SoylentNews is people

Journal by hubie

The 2018 Winter Olympics are upon us, but alas, I am yet again trapped and subject to the Olympic Experience that NBC is compelled to provide me. Unless they make a fundamental change this year, I am not allowed to access their "free" and wonderful coverage of all of the events via their streaming service because I am a cord cutter and I do not have a cable account id to use to login (ESPN is notorious for providing "free" access this way as well). I keep toying with the idea, but I never get over the activation energy to do it, but I would love to VPN into another country (Canada, England, etc.) to get my Olympics fix, but I don't know who provides reliable endpoints.

Does anyone have any recommendations for companies they've used, or better yet, specifically done this to get Olympics coverage? I don't see this as a long-term thing and is something I would only set up for certain events (Olympics, Rugby World Cup) as needed.
